Do not buy them at the advertised price. Everyone will beat everyone’s prices. I saved a lot of money building my barn just having them battle everyone else down. Then call Lenco and see if they will beat HD/Lowe’s bottom dollar price. ---

Lowes built RIGHT NEXT to Gui’s in Springville. A guy I know just compared prices on lumber and Gui’s was cheaper. Sidenote: Lowes offers a “project” card/account or whatever where you don’t have to pay for 6 months.
